No but they only know ive locked them up, not that ive fired on ghem

i didnt know they got a launch warning for a sarh, bugger i was hoping itd be sneaky sneaky. so atm the phoenix is sarh until a set point (16 sec to impact?) then goes active? so it isnt active off the rail then (apart from acm mode)? thanks for the reply

Tws auto and jester lantirn ftw! Any idea when the ohoenix chsnges are happening?

Thats an extremely cool addition to the flight model!

so pdstt will effectively be a massive sparrow? target gets no launch warning at all? sarh/dl, is that datalink? what happens if you do a tws launch >10nm then immediately bugger off? any ideas when this is happening? what actually happens now? is it always active off the rail atm??

sorry if this has already been answered, i did try to read the whole thread but god damn its like wading through radioactive treacle! way too toxic to read through it all! what happens to the missile iff i launch at say 50 miles then instantly turn and run away bravely? iv tested that a few times and it can still nail the target, whats actually happening? is it simply proceeding to the point it was already heading for then go pitbull as normal? if so then it will work against unaware/non manuevering taregets. is it going pitbull as soon as the mothership loses lock? whats the effective range of the missiles own radar? and is it purely pd or can it switch to pulse?

thats what i did, was hoping for a way to do it faster lol

Heres a scenario i need help with, theres a big target 100 miles away but hes bwaming/notching me, i know where he is but i simply cant get him on radar (multiplayer using jester btw). Whats the fastest way to lock and kill him? Will pulse mode work that far out? Do i have any options apart from screaming out ahead of him then turning in to defeat the beam/notch? Ps hes at 30k feet so going lower than him isnt a problem

fly her like a MASSIVE warbird :pilotfly:

will dinking the nose up 30 degrees acheive the same thing or not?

so if you shoot head on then turn 35 degrees it will automatically lose lock?

ive seen it keep tracking after breaking stt lock. does that work until you hit the gimbal limits then its gone?

ive never been able to get va to work anything like properly :(

is there anyway to slave the tcs to a tws contact?

if we have a 4 ship and i (lead) set my tacan to 01y a-a, if the other 3 set 64y a-a will they all have range but not bearing to me? and what will mine show me? how about if 1 and 3 set 01y and 2 and 4 set 64y, what happens then?

thanks for the clarification :thumbup: iv goit a tacan questionnext :megalol:

i know he slaves it to the radar so if you lock it then the camera tracks it

ah thanks, can i get jester to do this or is human only?

hcu? is this backseat jargon?

can i track a target with the tcs without using the radar?

get used to judging it from the needle position, it becomes 2nd nature surprisingly quick

im interested, cat pilot semi competent (sort of) im in a squadron now but would love more cat training and a human rio too!!

??

im in that process lol, i dont know when/how to use rate vs radius

tight turn circle is turn RADIUS thats a different thing to turn rate. turn radius is how much distance you cover in a 180 degree turn. turn rate is how much time it takes to turn the nose 180 degrees. i think the cat has the tightest circle because its corner speed is lower than everything else
